<p>Elon. Furman. There are a lot of less mentioned schools that are really cool, and you don't need a 4.0/2250 SAT to get into.</p>
<p>pick up best 366 colleges (PR) or fiske guide to colleges. not expensive.</p>
<p>the ECs i'm including on my applications are</p>
<p>girl scouts- member for 7 years
the 2 internships i'm doing
red cross volunteer
jv soccer
junior classical league- (latin club)
and jsa (its a political awareness club)</p>
<p>not the best, but hopefully not the worst?</p>
<p>I would definitely check out Claremont McKenna and Scripps, both part of the Claremont Consortium of colleges. CMC is an LAC known for their programs in business and government; Scripps is an all-woman's college, which I know you said you didn't want, but as part of the Consortium, you can take classes at any of the other colleges, which are all pretty much right next to each other. (And it may be a little easier to get into than CMC, which is a reach for you.)</p>
